10 Years of 20K! How It All Began

About this episode

To celebrate ten years of Twenty Thousand Hertz, Dallas reveals the oral history of the show, including the career detours, financial gambles, and chance encounters that made it possible. From touring with The Cavaliers, to mixing Mythbusters, to building a sound studio in his basement, he traces the winding path that led him to start a podcast… and the act of generosity from a personal hero that helped it find an audience. Plus, we open the archives to play the unaired 20K pilot that he can barely stand to hear. Twenty Thousand Hertz is produced by Defacto Sound.
